High level summary​

The Consensus team started working on the goals for the third quarter of 2024, which can be found here.

  • Improved behavior of db-truncater (#1203).
  • Exposed more information on EmptySlot error (#1196).
  • Added a trace message when the Consensus database is not clean (#1198).
  • Added support for storing immutable and volatile databases in different paths (#1199).

We're also working on rebasing the UTXO-HD feature branch atop 9.1. The benchmarks of the in-memory showed an increase in heap size (#1192) and exposed a race condition (#1193). There are proposed fixes which will be benchmarked soon:

  • Heap size increase mitigation: #1194.
  • Forkers race condition fix: #1208.
